I received a .pdf file from someone on a non-linux machine and when i try to open it it says "Unable to open document. File type Zip archive (application/zip) is not supported". So, I rename it "file.pdf.zip" and open it up with unzip. I then get a zipped folder with a file named "[Content_Types].xml and 3 folders (docProps, _rels, word) with various files inside. None of them are a useable .pdf file.
When I send it back to someone on a non-Linux they can view it fine so I know it isn't corrupted. I need to view the .pdf on my Linux machine. How do I do that?
Note, most .pdf's I receive open fine, just certain ones don't work.

This is not a PDF file. This is a Word document. (Well, it's an “Office Open XML” document, but it's Microsoft's format.) These files are zip files under the hood, but the individual files contained in the zip don't make sense on their own.
The person who sent it probably made a mistake when they tried to save it as a PDF, and just renamed the file instead of converting it to PDF. If it's practical, let them know that they actually sent a Word document and try to get them to give you a PDF instead.
You can open Word documents in LibreOffice. Try renaming the file to .docx and your system will probably do that automatically. Usually you can see the text and some of the formatting, but the compatibility is far from perfect. Some elements may be missing or misplaced.
